Get detailed company information and fundamentals
AI agents call stock_info to retrieve information from Open Paper Trading MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves company information and fundamental data about stocks. It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The 'Get' verb and lack of any state-changing operations place it clearly in the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'stock_info' and description 'Get detailed company information and fundamentals' indicate retrieval of data with no side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Open Paper Trading MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for stock_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"stock_info": {}
}
}stock_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
